windows: use normalized path to check repository nesting

current "localrepository._checknested()" uses specified path itself to
compare against subrepo pathes.

it is invoked from "hgsubrepo.subrepo()" or pathauditor (as callback),
and both use "os.sep" as separator.

this causes unexpected nesting check result, if subrepo configuration
uses "/" as path separator for sub repo path.

this path uses "/" to join path components (or apply "util.pconvert()"
on path) to normalize.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
